DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Deadline [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.

Have fun!

I just commented above, sorry. I didn't realize they weren't blood siblings. I tend to miss details like this.

That is a good point about their upbringing. They would have to be close as the support and love they could get was from each other. Societal norms were never imprinted as they grew up.

When you put it like that, I'm surprised they didn't act out more. Well, Shaun does go poke zombies with sticks but it looks good on tv.

Would love read more about Masons going from the happy family with Phillip to heartless people who adopt and raise kids to get good ratings. That's quite progression.

It's also interesting to me because, even though the Masons were horrible to Shaun & Georgia... they aren't cartoon villains. They aren't bad just so that our heroes can have bad parents. They're really really broken people.

We get to see a bit more of them, too, in Blackout...

What fascinates me, having seen the Rising snippets, is that they are awful parents/broken people who started out as strikingly intelligent, decent human beings. I'm pretty sure the pre-Rising Masons are people I'd have liked to know.
